Death of the Web Conference (as we know it)

It comes as no surprise that the sheer volume of meetings is on the rise. Nor should it come as a shock that the vast majority of business people report they get little or no value out of most of the meetings they attend. Yet, few workers would argue that communication and collaboration are critical to achieving their goals.

Late start times costing executives over 5 full days each year
